[Verse]
Charlie’s boots sit by the door,
He’s pacing grooves in the kitchen floor.
Waiting on that call to climb,
The power lines and chase the time.
[Verse 2]
Used to be the nights were long,
Out with the boys, singing their song.
Now the jukebox don’t call his name,
It’s Lex’s laugh that fuels his flame.
[Chorus]
Charlie’s waiting, but life’s begun,
Underneath the setting sun.
Dreams of lines and skies so wide,
But Lex, she keeps him warm inside.
[Verse 3]
They drive the back roads, hand in hand,
Talk of dreams, and make their plans.
The waiting’s hard, but she’s his light,
Guiding him through the endless night.
[Bridge]
The phone may ring, the call might come,
But Charlie knows where he belongs.
For every climb, for every mile,
Lex gives him reason, makes it worthwhile.
[Chorus]
Charlie’s waiting, but life’s begun,
Underneath the setting sun.
Dreams of lines and skies so wide,
But Lex, she keeps him warm inside.
